It takes a magical Bodhi tree to show Jack McCall, a literary agent with a gift for gab, that he talks too much. When Jack’s client Dr. Sinja finds his agent has exaggerated details of a literary deal the author/guru plants a Bohdi tree on Jack’s property. The tree, a symbol of wisdom and honesty, begins losing its leaves at a rate of one per word issued by Jack McCall. And as Jack is a major talker this causes severe trauma to the magical tree. When Jack learns that he will die after he speaks (and the tree loses) one thousand he finds he is hit with a karmic repercussion that he needs to eliminate. Starring Eddie Murphy (in one of his best roles in years) as Jack McCall, Cliff Curtis as Dr. Sinja, Kerry Washington is Jack’s wife, Caroline, and Clark Duke plays his assistant Aaron.
